It turns out quite nice – my only issue was that it was a little dry, especially when served with the suggested half cup of quinoa. ChatGPT also asks me to eat a small orange alongside it, but as most oranges seem to be largely made up of bitter rind and pith, I sub that out for an apple.

Altogether, it made a nice lunch. Again, it took quite a long time to prep, which is fine in the evening but a little less convenient against the lunch hour clock. My go-to lunches tend to be leftovers from the night before that can be quickly reheated but ChatGPT seems intent on making me do a lot of cooking from scratch.

Dinner

Dinner is thankfully something I whip up quite regularly – a chickpea and veggie curry with coconut milk, served over brown rice. OK, I only had white rice in the cupboard, but there’s still plenty of protein in this anyway.

In terms of snacks, ChatGPT suggests a measly Greek-style plant-based protein yoghurt, which it claims will deliver a whopping 15g of protein. I’ve yet to meet a Greek soy or oat yoghurt that’s anywhere above 5g, so unless it wants me to eat the entire tub, I decided to top up with a Huel banana milkshake protein shake before training that evening.
